There are many ways of getting to St.Anton and
here I will give you as much information as I can about your choices. I
would recommend flying rather than driving as it is a long way here and seems
even further on the way home!

There are several
airports that you can fly into - I would recommend Friedrichshafen, Memmingen, Innsbruck
or Zurich but you can also use Basle, Salzburg, Munich & Stuttgart (German Wings) but
these are further away from the resort. Also for those of you wanting to fly from Eire: Ryanair fly to Salzburg from Dublin. Air Lingus fly to Zurich, Salzburg & Munich from Dublin, Cork, Knock & Shannon.

Here is a list of airports in the UK that you can use to get to St.Anton from:

BRISTOL - Easyjet to Salzburg.EDINBURGH - Easyjet to
Zurich & Ryanair - Memmingen. GATWICK - Easyjet to
Zurich, Salzburg, Basle, Innsbruck & Munich. Monarch to Friedrichshafen.
HEATHROW - Swiss Air to Zurich or Basle.LIVERPOOL - Easyjet to Salzburg
LUTON - Easyjet to Zurich & Salzburg.
MANCHESTER - Swiss Air - Zurich & Monarch - Friedrichshafen.
STANSTED - Ryanairto Memmingen.When you arrive at your chosen airport there are also several ways of
reaching St.Anton. If you choose the car hire option there are a couple of
things to bear in mind -there
could be a lot of snow - have you driven in heavy snow before??In Austria they drive on the right hand side of the road - have you driven on the continent before??

FRIEDRICHSHAFEN

The best and easiest airport
for St.Anton is Friedrichshafen.
Although it is in Germany, Friedrichshafen is only a ninety-minute drive from
St.Anton.
It has by far the easiest / quickest arrival and
departure
through times of any European airport I have been to. Innsbruck
is closer but you run the risk of divertions due to bad weather or high
winds.

Car HireIf you are thinking of car hire from Friedrichshafen we suggest that you check out RHINO CAR HIRE as they offer very good prices. . Directions by car to St.Anton can be found below. Also
remember when booking your car hire to ask for WINTER TYRES and CHECK they are
fitted when you collect the car.

Train

There is a train station situated at
Friedrichshafen and you will be able to get to St.Anton from here but you will
need to make one or two connection changes. For the rail network journey planner click here.

Directions to St.Anton via
road :Turn right as you leave the airport terminal and drive about 500m until
you reach a T Junction. Turn left here and this will bring down to a roundabout
where you turn right towards Friedrichshafen. As you come into Friedrichshafen
itself you will go through a set of traffic lights and should then see in front
/ above you a flyover. Go underneath the flyover and then take a filter left.
This is signposted towards Lindau and there will be a Lidl supermarket on your
right. The road number is 31. You will continue towards Lindau for about 20km
until you come to the main Munich / Innsbruck motorway. The number of this
motorway is 96. When you reach it you have to take a left turn onto it heading
towards Bregenz. This will take you to the German / Austrian border, if your
car does not have an Austrian tax disc you must purchase one here, (they are
not expensive - you are not in the UK now!) Once through the border stay on the
motorway, you will pass through a long tunnel under Bregenz. Once through the
tunnel you continue for about another 50km until the road becomes single
carriageway. Continue for about a further 15km and then the road once again
becomes dual carriageway. Continue through a couple of short tunnels until you
go through a very long tunnel of several kilometres - this is the Arlberg
tunnel - and at the end of it you exit to St.Anton. There is a small toll for
using this tunnel.

MemmingenRyanair fly
into this airport from Stansted, Manchester & Edinburgh. It
is almost all motorway from Memmingen St.Anton and the transfer
time should be just over 90 minutes.

full details click here.TrainThere
is a train station situated at Memmingen, my advice is find people to
share a taxi with direct to the station (11 Euro), there is a bus
connection but I have found it does not always make the train connection you
need. You will be able to get to St.Anton from here but you will
need to make several connection changes. I have made this journey a
couple of times and it will take 3 - 4 hours. I suggest you only
use the train as a last resort or if you have time to kill. For the

BA & Thomsonfly into Innsbruck from
Gatwick. Innsbruck is the
closest airport to St.Anton but maybe Gatwick is not so good for many people!
It is very easy to get from Innsbruck to St.Anton, either by Train, Car or
taxi. Air Berlin
fly into Innsbruck from Stansted but only on Thursday & Friday. A problem that you can encounter when
flying to Innsbruck is being diverted to somewhere like Munich or
Salzburg if the weather is bad at Innsbruck. It is even worse if your
flight home is diverted somewhere away from Innsbruck and you then have
a big rush to try and make the flight. When returning to the UK from
Innsbruck always check your flight and the weather early!

ZURICH

Easyjet fly
intoZurich, which is
quite a good airport for getting to St.Anton. Whilst further away than
Friedrichshafen, Memmingen & Innsbruck it does have the advantage of a railway
terminal and the connection to St.Anton is good. You could also hire a car and take the two and a half hour drive to
St.Anton but I would certainly not advise you to take a taxi unless your are
Richard Branson.

TrainTrains run very frequently to the main Zurich station where you will be
able to catch a train direct to St.Anton. However make sure that you check out
your arrival times against the train departures so you don't end up spending
the evening in Zurich! Journey PlannerAnother
tip is to sit in the dining car on the train where there are good food, drinks
and waiter service. It is a very pleasant way to get to St.Anton, the Swiss /
Austrian trains are so much better than you will be used to in the UK.

remember when booking your car hire to ask for WINTER TYRES and CHECK they are
fitted when you collect the car. Secondly when you cross the border into
Austria you must buy a tax disc - this is not expensive but the fine for not
having it is !!DirectionsLeave the airport and take the A51 south following signs towards the
A1. Turn onto the A1 towards Winterthur and St.Gallen. Stay on the A1 past
Winterthur and St.Gallen and then when you pass St.Margrethen follow the signs
to the A13 - Now you are on the A13 you need to exit at Junction 3 signposted
towards Hohenems. This will then bring you across the border into Austria.
Follow signs to the A14 and then get onto the A14 towards Innsbruck. Once on the
A14 you continue for about another 40km until the road becomes single
carriageway. Continue for about a further 15km and then the road once again
becomes duel carriageway. Continue through a couple of short tunnels until you
go through a very long tunnel of several kilometres - this is the Arlberg
tunnel - and at the end of it you exit to St.Anton. There is a small toll for
using this tunnel. Do not take the road for the Arlberg pass to St.Anton as
this may have a lot of snow on it. When you take the car back you should fill
up in Switzerland as it is much cheaper.
